Government

Internet of Things is going to have many applications in the government sector. IOT can be utilized by every level of government to better serve its citizens.

Using the right IOT sensors, a city or county can monitor parking availability. This can help to create valuable information on whether to build more parking areas, promote ride sharing/car pooling, etc. The very same technology can be used to monitor vehicles and pedestrians to optimize driving and walking routes.

Structural health monitoring of bridges, monuments, and buildings will also be very beneficial to government. Such monitoring can include vibrations and material conditions, among other areas of concern. Information generated from systems like this can help avoid accidents and loss of life as well as promote the timely scheduling of preventative maintenance.
